Gene editing expands Removing undesirable traits in animals By Martha Blum

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

DAVIS, Calif. — Gene editing provides a way to precisely knock out undesirable traits or introduce desirable traits in animal breeding programs. “It opens up new opportunities to bring in useful things like disease resistance,” said Alison Van Eenennaam, Extension specialist, animal biotechnology and genomics in the Department of Animal Science at the University of California-Davis. “Gene editing involves the use of proteins that cut the double-stranded helix of DNA in a particular genetic location,” said Van Eenennaam during a webinar hosted by the National Beef Cattle Evaluation Consortium. “Once they’ve cut the cells try to repair the double-stranded break because nature doesn’t like that.” As a result, Van Eenennaam said, you can break the gene so the protein is no longer expressed, which is called a knockout. “You can also intentionally insert a piece of DNA between the break which is called a donor template,” she said. “So, maybe you’d like to bring the allele for polled into a breed that has horns.” Or, Van Eenennaam said, breeders might want to improve heat tolerance of dairy cattle or eliminate the protein responsible for mad cow disease. “You could offer the allele for improved meat tenderness, or you might want to introduce a gene that gives resistance to mastitis,” she said. “A lot of work has been done in China to produce tuberculosis-resistant cattle,” she said. “Tuberculosis is human transmissible, and it is quite a problem in the United Kingdom where it’s getting spread by badgers.” Van Eenennaam discussed a project that involved introducing the polled allele into dairy breeds. “Most dairy breeds are not naturally polled,” she said.

‘The best game in town’ Illinois Corn counters Bud Super Bowl ad By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — A beer company took a swipe at corn in a Super Bowl advertisement last February. Now it’s the corn farmers’ turn. Roger Sy, Illinois Corn Marketing Board chairman, said a television ad promoting Illinois corn will be featured in most Illinois television markets during the next big game in February. The Bud Light ad touted the product does not contain corn syrup as does other beers.

“Consumer education is one of our big items. We have to really work hard on letting the consumers know, the city people know who are so far removed from the farms that what we’re doing is the same thing we feed Sy our families with. It’s safe, it’s affordable,” Sy, a Newman farmer, said. “There are all kinds of stories out there. Social media is one of the worst things that have happened. We need to get the truth out and show them that we’re sincere, we have a safe product and we’re the best game in town.” Farmers have taken plenty of hits during the dreadful growing season, topped by the trade war with China, the still-to-be

signed trade deal with Mexico and Canada, and the need to expand the ethanol market. “We have to get over these humps. There are all of these hurdles. It’s like running a race. You jump over one hurdle. You might trip occasionally, but you just get up, keep trying and keep going with it,” Sy said during a break at a gathering of ICMB and Illinois Corn Growers Association members Nov. 26. ICMB collects and administers the corn checkoff money and uses the funds primarily for research, education and promotion. The farmer-based organization’s mission is to increase the profitability of corn production by developing and

maintaining markets for corn and corn products. “Ethanol is always tops on our list. We’re seeing a lot more talk now about the low carbon, high octane type fuels, going away from just the term ethanol. We have started to get more interest. We have tests coming from Argonne Lab and others,” Sy said. ICMB also is focusing on additional infrastructure with more ethanol mix gasoline pumps. There are currently 2,000 pumps nationwide for E15 and it’s hoped that will eventually increase to 24,000. “We have the companies that make the pumps that are doing testing now where we can put a much higher level of ethanol into the pumps.

Illinois Corn Growers select new leadership Leigh elected ICGA president By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — New leadership was elected to the Illinois Corn Growers Association Nov. 26. Bill Leigh was elected ICGA president. Joining the Minonk farmer in leadership roles are Randy DeSutter, Woodhull, vice president; Matt Rush, Fairfield, treasurer; and Keith Sanders, Vandalia, secretary. Leigh has served on the ICGA board for six years, most recently as vice president. He will continue his role as District 4 director for the duration of his term as president, serving members in Bureau, Lee, Marshall, Putnam, Stark, and Whiteside counties. Leigh also was reelected to a third term serving District 4. The Exports Committee will be led by Chairman Mike Homerding of Plainfield and Vice Chairman Kate Danner of Aledo. Elected to lead the Industrial Committee were

Chairman Marty Marr of New Berlin and Vice Chairman Terry Smith of Clayton. Grassroots Committee leadership for the coming year are Chairman Ted Mottaz of Elmwood and Vice Chairman Sarah Hastings of Sidney. In addition to Leigh, five other directors were reelected and will continue in their positions as directors. They are Mike Homerding for District 1, Marty Marr for District 10, and Matt Rush for District 13. Reelected at-large directors include Kate Danner of Aledo and Dave Rylander of Victoria. Leigh will continue to carry ICGA’s messages in his leadership role in promoting new demand, ethanol, trade and educating the non-farm community. He spoke with AgriNews shortly after taking his new post. What are some goals the organization has going forward? “We’d like the trade issue resolved. The U.S.-MexicoCanada Agreement looks like it’s close. A big issue I’d like to concentrate on is the high-octane, low-carbon fuel standard

carbon comes in. “That’s where ethanol comes in because ethanol has a really good octane score and a really nice low greenhouse gas score. So, we think we can team-up with the auto and oil industry to ensure that liquid fuels will be in our transportation fleet for years to come, we hope. See LEIGH, Page A2

Robbins, Kettler earn ICGA’s World of Corn Award By Tom C. Doran

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — The Illinois Corn Growers Association honored two individuals for their significant contributions to the industry. Jim Robbins and Bruce Kettler were presented with ICGA’s top award at the organization’s annual meeting Nov. 26 at the Asmark Agricenter. The World of Corn Award, now in its 29th year, was created to recognize the global importance of corn and specifically honor individual pacesetters that have made Illinois a leader in the corn industry. JIM ROBBINS Robbins, of Peotone, represented ICGA District 1 as a director from 2003-2010, served as the secretary in 2009 and treasurer in 2010. He was on the National Corn Growers Association Research and Development Action Team in 2007, Production and Stewardship Action Team in 2009, Grower Services Action Team in 2010 and a representative to U.S.A. Poultry and Egg Export Council in 2010. Robbins also is interested in the global markets. He has hosted international visitors to his farm and traveled internationally to investigate new opportunities. “Jim Robbins has given a lot of time to this organization representing Illinois corn farmers

His goal is to give Michael the same opportunity that he had without being too involved. His own father was proactive in handing down the farm before retiring himself. Outside of farming, Robbins is actively involved in his church and community. He served as vice president of the Peotone Educational Foundation and is a founding member of the Will County Farm Bureau Foundation. He enjoys being outside while bike riding and has made the Ag in the Classroom bike fundraiser an annual event. Robbins farms with his wife, Pam, who operates the auger cart during harvest. She is also a nursing instructor and healthcare provider. AGRINEWS PHOTO/TOM C.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think high octane, low carbon is going to be a real political struggle to work on, especially in an election year. But I think it is the next step for ethanol usage. As much growth as we did get, especially in the early years of the RFS, this could be equally as big.â&#x20AC;? The Renewable Fuels Standard calls for the production this year and beyond of 15 billion gallons of ethanol. However, current production is 14.2 to 14.4 billion gallons. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been a large increase in the number of small refinery exemptions approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt allowed a bunch of small reďŹ nery exemptions and Administrator Andrew Wheeler did the same. Whether these reďŹ neries qualify as small is a good question because big oil owns a lot of these reďŹ neries. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had more of an eďŹ&#x20AC;ect on the diesel side, but it all eďŹ&#x20AC;ects how the demand for ethanol and the demand for biofuels have aďŹ&#x20AC;ected everyone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ethanol production number has actually peaked in last three or four years. If you look at the gallons of gasoline used and the gallons of ethanol used today, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a 10% blend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We pick a little bit up from the E85 and pick a little bit up from E15, but there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really enough stations out there for E15 at this point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;E15 is a great way to get a little more octane and it helps the ag

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a lot of E15 out there now, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see them even going to E25 or even E35 at the pumps so the infrastructure is there as we continue to work on it,â&#x20AC;? Sy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now ethanol is the cheapest way to get octane into your fuel that is out there, and I still think a lot of the alternatives are a few years down the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, until then, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still the best game in town.â&#x20AC;?

economy, but there are 2,000 E15 dispensers in the country and to really make a dent on that we need probably 20,000.â&#x20AC;? A beer commercial first shown during the last Super Bowl featured a company touting that they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use corn syrup to produce their product. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is so ironic about the whole commercial sequence is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re promoting their competitors and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got multiple brands of beer that they sell that uses corn syrup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were in D.C. on Capitol Hill right after that and I was talking to one of our congressmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s staďŹ&#x20AC;ers who at one time been involved with the soda industries and knowledgeable about sugar use. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;this is stupid, sugar is sugar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to convert to alcohol anyway, whether it is rice syrup or corn syrup it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes back to the importance of educating the public and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much of what we do. In our visits to Washington, D.C., a lot of what we do is education. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re educating about the topics that are important to us at the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This high octane, low carbon is going to be a real mountain to climb because there are so many people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a complicated issue because there are so many moving parts that have to happen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the state level, there are only a few Illinois legislators with farm backgrounds. Things are happening again, SpringďŹ eld didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a lot for several years when there was no budget. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to be very Everything is kind of co-mingled right now with the issues weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working on.â&#x20AC;? Sy, who represents Clark, Coles, Cumberland, Crawford, Douglas, Edgar and Jasper counties on the ICMB along with this chairman duties, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pleasure doing this for all of the farmers in Illinois.â&#x20AC;? Tom C. Doran

much more proactive with education and telling out story.â&#x20AC;? What is the importance of the ICGA? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I started I had not been involved. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a county organization and I was mildly skeptical of the eďŹ&#x20AC;ectiveness. It demands a fair amount of time and the more you get involved the more time it demands. But I have grown to see and realize that we do make a diďŹ&#x20AC;erence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a great advocate for Illinois and national corn farmers and farmers in general. The topics are important to us, important to our demand and important to our ability to farm the way we want to farm. I am proud that I am now associated with this organization. The Illinois Corn Growers is a tremendous beneďŹ t and I think we do important and worthwhile things with the checkoďŹ&#x20AC; dollars we receive.â&#x20AC;? Tom C.

TRADE The ICMB continues to encourage the completion of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement and hopes a trade deal with China is resolved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hopeful with China. One day it seems like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting there. The next day weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not. They still need things. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still buying. A lot of our corn is still leaving in the form of protein through livestock. China is a huge pork buyer,â&#x20AC;? Sy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to buy more chicken because pork is going to run low everywhere. China has lost so many swine, equal to us, Mexico and Canada combined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not only exporting corn as corn, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting pork. China is working with dried distillers grains because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to build their herds back up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;China is also interested in the ethanol market. They want to clean up some of their cities and get the greenhouse gas emissions down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, ethanol is our best game in town there.

Three receive Illinois Corn Growers awards By Tom C. Doran AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

BLOOMINGTON, Ill. — The Illinois Corn Growers Association honored three individuals for their environmental, ethanol and media work during a Nov. 26 awards program. Matt Boucher, a Dwight farmer, was honored at ICGA’s annual meeting with the Environmental Award. Coleman Jones, a Fuels Technical Fellow for General Motors in North America, received the Ethanol Award for his work on the Ag Auto Ethanol alliance. The Media Award went to Betsy Jibben, a national reporter of the syndicated programs AgDay and U.S. Farm Report. Ted Mottaz, an Elmwood farmer and ICGA president, presented the awards. MATT BOUCHER Boucher owns and operates a fourth-generation family farm that grows corn, soybeans, wheat and cover crops. According to his farm’s media page, even during a diﬃcult year Boucher was quick to point out cover crops still needed to be planted. Boucher is active on social media and works closely with the Illinois Farm Families projects. He has written several blog posts for the site, which encourages conversations with the public about how farming works. While concerned about the public’s perception of farming, he also wants to help other farmers succeed with their conservation eﬀorts. The Potential Ag division of his farm provides service to farmers with seeds, cover crop information and precision planting equipment. “Matt is dedicated to preserving his farm for future generations, and it is evident by the actions he takes on his operation. He also is not hesitant to share with the public what he is doing. It has been an honor working with Matt over the years,” Mottaz said. Boucher and his wife, Heather, have three children.

COLEMAN JONES Jones focuses in his General Motors position on petroleum and bio-derived fuels, especially properties, manufacturing processes, costs and interactions with Boucher vehicles. He supports GM engineering and public policy worldwide on fuel issues. He is co-chair of the Ag-Auto-Ethanol workgroup which works to improve the use of high-octane, low carbon fuels for vehicles. He also chairs the American Society for Testing Materials gasoline.

“This connection has beneﬁted the corn industry overall,” Mottaz said. “After serving on our board, the Indiana Department of Agriculture could not be getting a better director.” Kettler grew up in Ohio and served as the Ohio FFA president, as well as National FFA vice president. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in agronomy from Ohio State University. He serves on the Ohio State University President’s Alumni Advisory Council, is a member of the board of trustees for Riverview Health in Hamilton County, Indiana, and formerly served on the board for Hamilton County’s Economic Development Corp. Kettler’s wife, Tammy, is senior director of corporate relations for Purdue University’s College of Agriculture.

He also has been a manger of fuels and lubricants for GM Powertrain. After completing his degrees in chemical engineering and materials science, his first GM position was at Powertrain Advanced Materials Development Center. BETSY JIBBEN Jibben received the Media Award for promoting Illinois agriculture and, specifically, Illinois corn and corn farmers. “We are happy to offer this recognition to Betsy. We have been very pleased with Betsy’s coverage of topics important to agriculture. I look forward to watching her

reports,” Mottaz said. Jibben, who resides in Indiana, graduated with a broadcast journalism degree from South Dakota State University in Brookings. She now travels across the country and covers diﬀerent agricultural topics including policy, markets and features. She grew up in South Dakota where her parents grow row crops and have a cow-calf operation. “Betsy is always quick to respond to news from the ICGA. When she visits farmers in Illinois to get them on-camera she is respectful of their time and makes them feel comfortable while she interviews them. TV can be pretty in-

timidating, but we’ve heard from our members that Betsy always puts them at ease,” Mottaz noted. “Betsy’s coverage of issue important to corn, from trade to weather and harvest reports is indepth and on-point. We’re certainly lucky that she moved to Indiana where we can beneﬁt from her proximity to our farms. News moves fast these days and issues are always churning. Betsy is right on top of things and we very much appreciate that.” Tom C. Doran can be reached at 815-780-7894 or tdoran@agrinews-pubs. com. Follow him on Twitter at: @AgNews_Doran.

FIELD NOTES: BY MYCOGEN SEEDS AGRONOMISTS

What we learned in 2019 By Melissa Bell

As this season ends and preparation for 2020 begins, it’s worth a look back at the good, the bad and the ugly of 2019. A year in review. When I reflect on the season, it went a little like this: Step 1: Plant into mud and cold, most likely in June. Step 2: Experience six-plus weeks of heat and drought. Step 3: Catch some cool temperatures to delay blacklayer and slow drydown as much as possible — and throw in a frost event across most of Bell the state just for additional insult. Step 4: Weather high winds, because what is more thrilling than watching a nitrogen-deficient, rootless crop try to stand? Step 5: Toss in a couple of snows for good measure. Add to all that a liquid propane shortage and grain elevators that closed at noon because of wet corn capacity. Not that yields have been stellar, but given the mess of the year, it continues to impress me that some places had any yield at all. In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for advances in plant breeding, the grit of farmers across the state and innovative farm equipment that allows farmers to get work done quickly. These things helped ease some of the pain Mother Nature inflicted throughout the year. Agronomic insights. At the end of any great challenge, we’re often called to reflect on what we learned. So, what can we can take away from 2019 from an agronomic standpoint and apply to future seasons? Anything we expected to happen, most often the opposite scenario played out. In some ways, this wasn’t all bad. For example, June-planted soybeans were deemed a failure at the time, especially for those accustomed to planting in April. Yet, amazingly, several 60-plus bushel yields were documented. This doesn’t mean, however, that I endorse planting soybeans in June going forward. Credit timely rains during seed fill with the many incidences of unexpected yield success. Switching gears to corn and the question that looms every year: Did fungicide pay? As is the answer most every production year, it paid in some areas and not so much in others, where fungicide treatments proved to be a investment wash. That’s because the crop lived longer and dried down slower, so farmers invested — or, depending on harvest progress, will invest — such dividends into LP. I continue to recommend working with your agronomist and seed dealer to assess the disease tolerance of the hybrids you select, making sure to scout at-risk acres that could benefit from a timely fungicide application. Be safe. We preach safety constantly, but farming continues to be one of the most dangerous occupations. Take the time to slow down and be mindful of safety precautions to prevent mistakes. Lastly, this season has been unkind to many, whether it be physical, mental, emotional, financial or a combination thereof. Far more are hurting with the stresses of the season than their pride will allow them to show. Checking on someone and reaching out may be among the most important things you do during this Thanksgiving season. Cheers to the close of 2019 and think positive as we get ready for 2020!

Hemp plant opens Drying, processing facility in Kokomo By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

KOKOMO, Ind. — Third Wave Farms opened a 22,000-squarefoot hemp drying and processing facility in Kokomo in November. The plant converts industrial hemp into a stable, storable and market-ready product. It has the capacity to process over 75,000 pounds of material a day. The ability to process the green hemp flower quickly is critical to helping farmers mitigate risk by ensuring their crops get dried quickly and are in a controlled, food-safe environment. “One of the biggest hurdles that our emerging industrial hemp industry faces is access to infrastructure to support farmers,” said Mike Lewis, cofounder of Third Wave. “We recognized early on that in order to bring quality grown hemp into the marketplace, we

The facility features a customized conveyor system that dries hemp to a stable moisture level. needed to have infrastructure to support post-harvest handling. “This drying facility will not only protect farmers’ crops in the short term but also provide an extra level of protection by allowing material to be stored and marketed when demand is at its peak.” The facility features a customized conveyor system that dries the hemp to a stable moisture percentage. From there, hemp is prepared for shipment to Third

Wave Farms’ extraction processing partners — where it will be turned into dozens of cannabinoid-based products for clients. “I am really excited about the future of hemp processing infrastructure in Indiana,” Lewis said. “This season was a huge success for us in terms of refining our production and processing equipment and systems. “Third Wave Farms current capacity at our Kokomo, Indiana, hub is 3,500 acres. In

2020, we intend to add three more hubs in support of Indiana farmers, which will handle up to 15,000 acres of production.” Lewis encouraged farmers interested in growing hemp to consider the risks and challenges associated with the crop. “This is still a rapidly evolving industry with lots of fluctuation and market uncertainty, so proceed with caution,” he said. “If we have learned anything this season, it is that the market and climate make this a volatile marketplace. “So, if you’re thinking about getting into the business, find the right partners and get ready for a fun ride. If you’re interested in supporting the growth of this industry, find people with good hearts and minds and buy their products. Find out what’s important to them.” Learn more about Third Wave at www.thirdwavefarms.com. Erica Quinlan can be reached at 800-426-9438, ext. 193, or equinlan@agrinews-pubs.com.

Sign-up deadlines for DMC, ARC/PLC By Tom C. Doran

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — Important signup deadlines for U.S Department of Agriculture risk management programs are approaching. The deadline to enroll in the Dairy Market Coverage program for 2020 is Dec. 13. Producers can sign up for the program at county Farm Service Agency offices and all dairy producers are eligible. DMC is a voluntar y riskma nagement prog ram that offers financial protection to dairy producers when the difference between the all milk price and the average feed cost — the margin — falls below a certain dollar amount selected by the producer. Implemented as part of the 2018 farm bill, t he prog ra m replaces t he Margin Protection Program for Dairy. Dairy operators can select their own coverage level ranging from $4 to $9.50 per hundredweight in 50-cent increments. They can also select the coverage percentage of the dairy operation’s production history ranging from 5% to 95% in 5% increments. There is a $100 administrative fee to register for the program, but can be exempted for limited-resource, beginning, veteran, or disadvantaged producers. “Any dairy producer who hasn’t visited our office, time is getting short,” said William Graff, Illinois USDA-FSA executive director. “All dairy operations are eligible. They must have a produc-

tion history deter mined by FSA. They have to be registered to par ticipate du r i ng t he sign-up.” As of Nov. 25, more than four-fifths of Graff all U.S. dairy operations with established production history are enrolled. Just over 80% of Illinois’ 568 dairy operations with established production history have thus far enrolled in the program, and about 73% of Indiana’s 424 dairy operations are now enrolled, according to the USDA. ARC/PLC The sign-up deadline for the Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage programs isn’t until March 15, 2020, but Graff recommends the sooner farmers sign up the better. “Illinois has more ARC/PLC contracts than any other state in the nation. We’ll probably be around 160,000 contracts when it’s done. I know a lot of people are telling people to sit back and wait before they make their decision, but we can’t put 160,000 contracts through on the last day,” Graff said. “The nice thing about this is after you make your decision you’re not locked in until the March 15 deadline. If you make a decision and you decide two weeks later that you want to change your decision, you can come into the FSA office as long as it’s before March 15 and change your de-

cision. “So, for these producers who are 90%, 95% sure of what program they’re going to take, ARC or PLC, you can take ARC county or PLC per farm per crop. Once you’re pretty sure what you’re going to do, come on in and get signed up because we’re going to get real busy and the March 15 deadline is going to come real quick.” The ARC/PLC sign-up deadline of March 15 also is sooner than in past years when it was set for the summer. “The March 15 deadline now is a whole new mindset for farmers to think about. We’re going to let people update their yields, but that deadline isn’t until Sept. 30,” Graff said. “If you would want to come in right now and make your yield update, we can take you in right now,” he added. ARC provides income support payments on historical base acres when actual crop revenue declines below a specified guaranteed level. PLC provides income support payments on historical base acres when the effective price for a covered commodity falls below its reference price. ARC and PLC are options available to operators and landowners who share the crop. Farm owners also have a one-time opportunity to update PLC payment yields beginning with crop year 2020. If the farm owner and producer visit the FSA county office together, FSA can also update yield information during that visit. Covered commodities include

barley, canola, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium and short grain rice, safflower seed, seed cotton, sesame, soybeans, sunflower seed and wheat. Farmers wanting more information about the PLC/ARC programs are encouraged to call their county FSA office. There also will be informational meetings to learn more about the program opportunities. “Please go to one of those informational meetings to learn the difference, to figure out exactly what paperwork you’re going to need and exactly what you’re going to need for your yield update,” Graff said. To help expedite the PLC and ARC signup process, particularly for larger producers, Graff recommends contacting the county FSA office before stopping to sign up so the staff can have the appropriate farm files and other information ready. “That way if they say come in at 2 p.m. Thursday or 10 a.m. on Monday, they’re going to have your files and other information out and ready for you and that will make a quicker visit for you,” he said. “Also, call the county office for the dates and locations of the ARC/PLC informational meetings. That’ll help you figure out what you want to do.” Tom C. Doran can be reached at 815-780-7894 or tdoran@ agrinews-pubs.com. Follow him on Twitter at: @AgNews_ Doran.

Corteva Agriscience launches LANDVisor Technology for ranchers and land managers

I N DI A NA P OL IS — Corteva Agriscience announced the launch of LANDVisor, a new integrated technology solution that allows ranchers and land managers to implement a customized solution for accomplishing their land management goals. LANDVisor combines sophisticated imagery and data analytics with expert management advice to increase land productivity. The technology provides detailed information on forage productivity and vegetation including the density of desirable and undesirable plant species, identifying where and when herbicide treatments will be most beneficial. “Land managers and ranchers care about all their resources, and they manage all of them for both environmental and economic sustainability,” said Damon Palmer, pasture and land management business leader at Corteva Agriscience. “LANDVisor gives them confidence that they are making optimum decisions. Providing customers with the latest integrated technology to sustainably manage their resources and maximize productivity is key to fulfilling our commitment to ensure progress.” LANDVisor allows producers to manage land for optimal productivity and environmental outcomes. Through key insights, this tool helps land managers make more informed, actionable decisions on the potential of their land, resulting in maximum return on investment. Left unchecked, lowvalue undesirable vegetation reduces forage production and profit potential for livestock grazers while also degrading wild-

Top Farmer Conference opens Jan. 9 By Ashley Langreck

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — The annual Purdue University Top Farmer Conference, a management-focused event for farmers geared toward risk management and crop production, will be held on Jan. 10 at the Beck Agricultural Center in West Lafayette. James Mintert, a Purdue professor of agricultural economics and the director of the Center for Commercial Agriculture, said the conference focuses on a broad-based management style and that timely topics of interest to farmers and those associated with the agriculture industry are covered. Mintert said this year the conference begins with a pre-conference on Jan. 9, which will cover only risk management strategies. He said the pre-conference will help producers identify strategies to help better run and market their operation. During the session, attendees also will get the opportunity to get experience using risk management tools with a farm simulator program. On the day of the conference, Mintert said Purdue professors and other industry experts will present sessions on topics including the future of the farm industry over the next few years, the value of farmland and factors that influence it, cover crops, digital agriculture and a roundtable discussion.

life habitat. Not only does LANDVisor give producers the ability to target their investment where it will provide the greatest production and environmental benefits, but it also extends the expert relationships with consultants and Corteva range and pasture specialists through progress tracking. E a rl ier this ye a r, rancher K.C. Windham participated in a test of LANDVisor in a mesquite control project on his ranch near Clyde, Texas. “With this program, you don’t have to guess,” he said. “It gives you the tools to make better decisions, looking at soils, where the plants are and what improvement you can make. LANDVisor is a game changer.” In early 2020, LANDVisor will be available to ranchers and land managers in the Southwest to manage highly invasive honey mesquite. As a significant consumer of water, honey mesquite outcompetes native grasses and desirable woody plants, reducing both forage production for cattle and plant diversity for wildlife. Corteva plans to expand LANDVisor in the United States and around the world for use in the range and pasture business but also in other industries.

Keeping kids safe on the farm By Erica Quinlan

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

I N DI A NA P OL IS — Growing up on a farm may be fun, but worksites can be hazardous for ch i ld r en a nd you ng adults. Melissa Ploeckelman, outreach specialist at the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety, shared advice during a webinar sponsored by AgriSafe. “We know that kids raised on farms have space to run and play,” Ploeckelman said. “They learn the definition of

work and are instilled with a sense of responsibility. “With that we know that, while farms are a lot of fun, they are also a very dangerous place. Usually child care isn’t available or affordable for farm families, so parents take their children into the worksite with them. “This creates a distraction while the adult is working, risking the adult’s life, as well as putting the child in a place of danger.” Ploeckel-man shared eight ways to keep the farm a fun, safe place to live and play.

GUARDIAN GUIDELINES 1. Set boundaries and rules — and enforce them. 2. Provide supervision. 3. Assign tasks and jobs and provide training. 4. Mitigate hazards. 5. Provide fun activities for children. 6. Teach youth about responsibility. 7. Provide a role model. 8. Nurture the love of family and farming. BY THE NUMBERS Nearly 900,000 children live on farms in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. An additional 250,000 youth are hired to work

on farms. Even more children visit farms as an agritourism destination. On farms, the top three causes of fatal accidents in youth are due to machinery, motor vehicles and drowning. The top three non-fatal causes of injuries are from falls, animals and machinery. Learn more about farm safety at www.agrisafe.org, or www.childagsafety.org.

Poor forage quality spurs concerns about nutrition

Experts recommend testing, supplements WEST LAFAYET TE, Ind. — A Purdue Extension specialist is warning livestock owners that forage they harvested earlier this year likely has lower-thanusual nutritional quality. Without proper supplements, there could be serious consequences for their animals. “This is a very unusual year, and the quality is extremely low for this late-har vested forage,” said Keith Johnson, a professor of agronomy and Extension forage specialist. “We have less energy and protein with a more mature crop. There’s a crisis potentially brewing if people don’t pay attention to quality.” Nutrition issues will be significant with cool-season grasses such as tall fescue, orchardgrass, smooth bromegrass, timothy and perennial ryegrass, as well as legumes such as alfalfa or red clover. Growers usually harvest these forages for the first time in mid- or late May, but this year’s particularly wet spring kept them from

the fields until late June to early July. As forage crops mature, they increase fiber and lignin content, making them less digestible. Less digestible forage crops result in reduced nutrient supply to the animal. Dry matter intake potential is also compromised with high fiber content. I mpr op er nut r it ion can lead to weight loss, weakness, poor lactation, poor conception or a lengthened birthing period. Proper nutrition is important for any animal, but it is especially critical during late gestation and lactation. A laboratory analysis of tall fescue harvested in late June verified significantly high fiber content. A cow, ewe, or doe in early lactation cannot consume enough of the tested hay to meet her needs because rate of passage through the digestive tract is slowed by the high fiber content. If not supplemented with other feedstuffs higher in energy and protein, these

livestock will be starved of nutrients. Johnson said it’s important for livestock producers to have their forage professionally tested, and then use the results to work with a trained nutritionists to develop a nutrition plan. Nutritionists may recommend adding soybean hulls, soybean meal, corn, distillers grains, corn gluten feed or other supplements to raise nutritional quality. “It’s critical that you work with certified laboratories and trained nutritionists who have the expertise to really dial in the proper nutrition for your animals,” Johnson said.

A wet spring kept farmers from harvesting forage until much later than usual this year, and that could have serious consequences for nutrient quality. Purdue Extension specialists suggest livestock operators have their forage tested and seek guidance from a nutritionist to ensure that animals receive proper nutrition this winter.

Two-state panel to address river issues KANKAKEE, Ill. (AP) — Oﬃcials hope a commission with representatives from Indiana and Illinois will help address problems with the Kankakee River, including flooding and sedimentation. The Kankakee River runs from near South Bend, Indiana, to near Channahon, Illinois, where it meets the Des Plaines River. It’s mostly a shallow stream, containing sandbottom pools and swampy marsh areas. Scott Pelath is executive director of the Kankakee River Basin and Yellow River Basin Development Commission in Indiana. The commission invited Illinois representatives to join, and Pelath said the interstate partnership on river issues is now very strong. Commission members and experts discussed issues at a recent Kankakee County board meeting in Illinois, including new ways to prevent ﬂooding, such as rules regulating urban development and farm drainage.

Winter Getaway

Branching out for Christmas Wreaths and trees a cut above By Martha Blum AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

SHANNON, Ill. — Growing Christmas trees has spanned several generations of the Dollinger family, as well as multiple generations of customers. “ We have second- and third-generation customers,” said Janie Dollinger, who operates Dollinger Christmas Tree Farm together with her husband, John, and their son, Mark, daughter-in-law, Shanna, and grandsons, Cooper and Maddex. “We have a customer that gets a decoration for a grave that her parents bought from us since 1967,” Janie said. “We recognize people right away even though we only see them once a year and they say ‘I want the same order as last year.’” The tree farm was established in 1956, when John’s dad, Ned, decided to plant Christmas trees. “Ned thought it would be a good job for John and his sister, Jill, to help plant trees and learn how to shear trees,” Janie said. “We have about 26 acres of trees here, and Mark has 15 to 20 acres of trees on his farm.” Trees in the ﬁeld that are for John Dollinger loads branches into a wagon. The branches will be used to create wreaths. sale are tagged with the price

Christmas tree tips

If you go…

1. Make a fresh cut across the trunk at least an inch above the original cut. 2. Select a location away from heat sources. 3. Keep stand filled with water. 4. Assign a family member to monitor water morning and night and fill as needed. 5. Do not overload electrical circuits and unplug tree lights when away. 6. Recycle your tree after the season.

Dollinger Christmas Tree Farm is located at 23882 Payne Road, Shannon. The farm is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Nov. 6 through Dec. 22. For more information, call 815864-2437, or go to www.dollingertreefarm.com.

Several types of trees are available, including white pine, Scotch pine, Canaan fir, concolor fir, blue spruce, Norway spruce, Meyers spruce and Serbian spruce. “The Meyers spruce is relatively new; it is a pretty dark, green tree and they really hold their needles,” John said. “It has tendency to grow a little hairy and wild and some get cones on them and hold their cones.” “We specialize in bigger trees, so we have a lot of trees that are 10, 12 or 14 foot,” Janie said. “We just sent a 20-foot tree to a shopping center in Rockford.” The most popular tree sold at the farm is Canaan fir. “We sell from 600 to 700 trees a year,” John said. That requires the family to plant about 1,500 trees each year. In the past, new trees were interplanted at the farm; however, now the growers are working to clear cut an area for new tree plantings. “We are working on getting three acres clear cut then dig all the stumps, reseed it this summer and next year plant trees there,” John said. “We plant about three seedlings for every tree that is harvested,” Janie added. In addition to trees, the Dollingers sell about 600 wreaths each year. “It’s increased every year,” Janie said. “People like the variety of greens we use, they know they are fresh cut greens and we make custom wreaths for people.” The wreaths range in size from 6 inches up to 48 inches, as

her Christmas gift to them.” Another customer of the farm has wreaths mailed to several people located in many areas, including Minnesota and Kentucky. “The wreaths that are going to be mailed usually go out the Monday of Thanksgiving week,” Janie said.

Janie Dollinger shows a sampling of the wreaths sold at Dollinger Christmas Tree Farm. well as other shapes, including a cross, candy cane and this year, for the ﬁrst time, a horse head. “We make something for everybody,” Janie said. A crew of workers makes wreaths at the Carroll County farm. “Judy has worked here 35 years, and she made the horse head wreath,” said Janie, who makes the 48-inch wreaths. “She has tied a lot of bows, and she recognizes most of the returning customers from year to year. “Mary is our main cutter, and she is the expert on 6-inch wreaths,” Janie said. “Everybody can make a 6-inch wreath, but Mary is the best.” “Dena cuts boughs, and she

can hop over to the wreath machine, too, because everybody here does more than one thing,” Janie said. “Rena is cutting greens, and Cathy has the patience of a saint when she is helping customers pick out ribbons for their wreath.” “Margaret works for us year around doing tree planting, tree shearing and she is our mechanic,” Janie said. “This place could not operate without Margaret, and she also designed the logo for our farm.” Janie has maintained a special book of wreath orders for many years. “People don’t just get a plain wreath for their door,” she noted. “They want the bow at 1 o’clock

or 11 o’clock, and we keep track of that from year to year, including the ribbon.” The ﬁrst 30 customers in the book are standing orders from one year to the next. “These are delivered to a cemetery or to their house,” Janie said. “We go to ﬁve cemeteries and we have maps of the cemeteries, so John knows where to place the wreaths on easels and we do a cemetery saddle that goes over the stone.” Some of the customers have unique requests. “We sent greeting cards to all these people, and they come here to pick out a wreath,” Janie said. “Then we put all the wreaths on the customer’s bill, and that is

GIFT SHOP In the gift shop, a variety of items are for sale that are made by local artisans and crafters. “This jewelry is made by Cathy, so that is why she works in this spot,” Janie said. “This seam ripper and walnut French rolling pin was made by a college guy from Lanark.” Other items include crocheted hats and stockings that could be used for gift cards or to hold silverware at a table place setting, popcorn raised by a 4-H and FFA member from Pearl City, maple syrup and handmade soap. “I had a gallon of olive oil in the back of my pantry and I did not want to dump it so my girlfriend and I learned how to make soap,” Janie said. “The most popular soap is Northern Forrest, and it has such a pretty green color.” Martha Blum can be reached at 815-223-2558, ext. 117, or marthablum@agrinews-pubs. com.

New shingles vaccine has higher risk of side effects

This tiny pool table is actually a box to hold matches. It was auctioned for $834.

By Dr. Keith Roach

Thieves stole my credit card number

Tiny pool table meets its match By Terry and Kim Kovel

What is the difference between a match strike, match safe, match case and match holder? They all were made in the 19th century to hold wooden matches. A match strike is a small vase kept on a table. It holds matches with the heads up. There is a rough surface used to strike the match and get a flame. A match safe or case is a rectangular box about the length of the wooden match. The box has a hinged cover that snaps shut to avoid letting the matches be accidently lit. The match holder usually was used in the kitchen. It was kept on a shelf or hung on the wall. An advertisement was sometimes on the front; it held a bunch of wooden matches used to light the stove. Don’t be surprised if you find that the match names are misused. Many people call them all “match holders.” This small 2-by-3 5/8-by-2inch miniature pool table is a match holder for a table. It is made of brass, felt and ivory. The lid slides open, and there is a striking surface on the side. Its unique shape led to a price of $834 at an auction in New York. © 2019 King Features Synd., Inc.

I received the first dose of Shingrix this week and had pretty severe side effects, though in the range of what can be expected: high fever at 101.5 degrees, intense shivering, a severe headache and 12 hours of extreme fatigue. The entire reaction began 11 hours after the shot and ended 18 hours after that. I am 61 and in excellent health, taking only 25 mcg of levothyroxine daily. I have a few questions that I hope you can answer. I’ve tried looking at the clinical trial results for Shingrix, but I am not qualified to understand the information as presented. 1. Is it likely that I’ll have a similar — or worse? — reaction to the second shot? The package insert says one can react to the first, second, neither or both. 2. Are both injections identical? 3. When I had chickenpox as a child, I was way sicker than the average kid. Related? 4. If I get shingles, do I have a higher risk for a severe case? Compared with the previous one-time vaccine Zostavax, the new two-dose Shingrix vaccine is much more effective. However, it does have a higher risk of side effects. You have had the most common side effect, though only 10% of people will have symptoms as bad as yours. These symptoms are caused by your body mounting an inflammatory response to the glycoprotein in the vaccine. The new vaccine does not contain a live virus. You clearly have a robust system to fight off infection. To answer your questions in order: You are at higher risk for a similar reaction for the second shot. I would plan your day accordingly, and premedicate with Tylenol, even though it may make the vaccine slightly less effective. The

Sometimes what you think is a scam phone call isn’t. Sometimes it’s the real thing — like the call I got today. When the phone rang, I didn’t rush to answer. The foreign-sounding man who left a message said that he needed to verify certain recent transactions on one of my credit cards. The only reason I paid attention was that this same thing happened to me 15 years ago. Still, I was leery. Instead of calling back at the number he left, I called the number on the back of my card and asked for the fraud department. Sure enough, my card number had somehow gotten out and people were busily trying to make purchases all over the country — at that very moment. By that time, the attempts to make fraudulent purchases had exceeded $4,000. The man immediately canceled my card and said that another one would arrive at my door within 48 hours. I asked him how this could happen. My card was in my hand. I don’t keep a list of credit cards on my computer. I shred documents that have personal information. I hadn’t fallen for any scammer tricks over the phone. I hadn’t clicked links in any suspicious emails. So, how did that number get out? He couldn’t tell me. He said it happens far too often, and it’s nothing the card owner has done. I suspect that a few months from now we’ll learn that there has been another massive security breach, similar to the Target breach of 2013 where the information on 40 million cards was stolen.

I certainly found that allopurinol can cause loss of taste sensation, but the Food and Drug Administration case reports don’t say how long it can last. Unfortunately, I can’t find any reliable way — or even plausible way — to increase the likelihood of getting your taste sensation back.

Always follow stewardship practices in accordance with the Product Use Guide (PUG) or other product-speciďŹ c stewardship requirements including grain marketing and pesticide label directions. Varieties with BOLTÂŽ technology provide excellent plant-back ďŹ&#x201A;exibility for soybeans following application of SU (sulfonylurea) herbicides such as DuPontâ&#x201E;˘ LeadOffÂŽ or DuPontâ&#x201E;˘ BasisÂŽ Blend as a component of a burndown program or for double-crop soybeans following SU herbicides such as DuPontâ&#x201E;˘ FinesseÂŽ applied to wheat the previous fall. Always follow grain marketing, stewardship practices and pesticide label directions. Varieties with the Glyphosate Tolerant trait (including those designated by the letter â&#x20AC;&#x153;Râ&#x20AC;? in the product number) contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate herbicides. Glyphosate herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate. Always follow grain marketing, stewardship practices and pesticide label directions. Varieties with the GenuityÂŽ Roundup Ready 2 YieldÂŽ (RR2Y) trait contain genes that confer tolerance to glyphosate, the active ingredient in RoundupÂŽ brand agricultural herbicides. RoundupÂŽ brand agricultural herbicides will kill crops that are not tolerant to glyphosate.

Individual results may vary, and performance may vary from location to location and from year to year. This result may not be an indicator of results you may obtain as local growing, soil and weather conditions may vary. Growers should evaluate data from multiple locations and years whenever possible. Varieties with the DuPontâ&#x201E;˘ STSÂŽ gene (STS) are tolerant to certain SU (sulfonylurea) herbicides. This technology allows post-emergent applications of DuPontâ&#x201E;˘ SynchronyÂŽ XP and DuPontâ&#x201E;˘ Classic ÂŽ herbicides without crop injury or stress (see herbicide product labels). NOTE: A soybean variety with a herbicide tolerant trait does not confer tolerance to all herbicides.

Ask me for a few memories of Christmases past, and I instantly recall my dad on a ladder stapling multicolor strings of lights to the eaves of our house. Mom festooned the interior with swags of evergreen and fresh eucalyptus — we lived in Northern California — with gilded angels and shiny ornaments. Although my brothers and I decorated cookies and set up the manger scene, it was my folks who primarily created the holiday magic around our place. In today’s more relaxed style, why not bring the kids into the center of holiday decorating with you, and make the coming month a do-together season of creativity, entertaining and giving? To get kids started, here’s a whimsical centerpiece that combines a variety of objects to tell a story or suggest a holiday wintry theme to adorn a dining-room table or mantel. Look for a clear glass hurricane or a clear glass wide vase you may have tucked away in your storage closet. Then choose small holiday items and images that express the way you celebrate the season, along with nature finds. Then bring out stored ornaments, mini strings of battery-operated lights or candles. Here’s the stuff you need for each arrangement: n One tall and wide — about 12 by 5 inches — clear glass hurricane shade, a similar size plain, clear glass vase, or a glass chimney tube, available at craft and discount stores. n A tray, a large round plate or a wide, shallow bowl for the base. n Small keepsake holiday or themed items, toys, artificial greens or nature finds, such as mini pinecones and moss. Here’s the fun: Arrange holiday-themed items in the center of the base, then place glass shade, vase or chimney tube over it. Set in the middle of your dining-room table, or wherever you wish to display it. Add greens or other decorative items around the outside of the base. For example: 1. Set a miniature decorative pine tree with tiny decorations dusted with snow in the middle. Around the outside, create a village scene with mini houses and figurines from your kids’ toy bins or your ornament collection. 2. School-age kids might enjoy decorating the glass by painting designs with permanent paint pens or acrylic paint in squeeze bottles. 3. Set a pillar candle inside by itself and let the light sparkle through colorful flat-sided marbles that you glue randomly around the outside of the glass shade. Use thick, quick-setting glue for best results. When the candle glows at mealtime, it will remind your child that he or she was the one who placed the marbles just so! © 2019 Donna Erickson distributed by King Features Synd.

New law targets independent truckers Suit challenges labor legislation By Don Thompson ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — The California Trucking Association on filed what appears to be the first lawsuit challenging a sweeping new labor law that seeks to give wage and benefit protections to workers in the so-called gig economy, including rideshare drivers at companies such as Uber and Lyft. The legislation violates federal law and would deprive more than 70,000 independent truckers of their ability to work, the

association said. Many would have to abandon $150,000 investments in clean trucks and the right to set their own schedules in order for companies to comply with a law it says illegally infringes on interstate commerce. “Independent truckers are typically experienced drivers who have previously worked as employees and have, by choice, struck out on their own. We should not deprive them of that choice,” association CEO Shawn Yadon said in a statement. The law set to take effect Jan. 1 makes it harder for companies to classify workers as independent contractors instead

of employees, who are entitled to minimum wage a nd benef it s such a s workers compensation. “We expect big corporate interests — especially those who have misclassified their workers for years — to take this fight back to the place they know they can delay justice for workers: the courts,” the bill’s author, Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego, said in a statement. Her office said it’s apparently the first such lawsuit, although Uber, Lyft and DoorDash have said they will spend $90 million on a 2020 ballot measure opposing the law if they can’t negotiate other rules for their drivers. Uber also

said it will keep treating its drivers as independent contractors and defend that decision in court if needed. OTHER WORKERS AFFECTED The law could also affect construction workers, janitors and home health aides. But the law’s eﬀect on ridesharing and meal delivery drivers has received the most attention because those companies pay their drivers on a per-ride basis and don’t provide beneﬁts such as health insurance and paid leave. The law implements a legal ruling last year by the California Supreme Court regarding workers

at the delivery company Dynamex. The court set a new, three-prong test for companies to use when determining how to classify their workers. To be labeled a contractor, a worker must be free from control of the company; performing work “outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business;” and engaged in an independently established trade, occupation or business of the same nature as the work they are performing. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in San Diego the same day the University of California, Berkeley, Labor Center estimated that the law

will apply to nearly twothirds of independent contractors, including truck and taxi drivers, janitors and maids, retail workers, grounds maintenance workers and childcare workers. Categories specifically exempted under the law make up another 9%, mostly high-wage jobs including doctors and dentists, lawyers, accountants and real estate agents. Roughly a quarter of workers will be covered unless certain strict criteria apply, the center projected. They include construction workers, hairdressers and barbers, designers and other artists, and sales representatives.

Electric vehicle startup to begin manufacturing NORMAL, Ill. (AP) — Thousands of people attended an event to see prototypes of electric vehicles a central Illinois startup plans to create, an effort that already has the backing of officials through promised tax breaks and incentives. Rivian Automotive held a public event to show the community of Normal and elected officials three vehicles it plans to begin creating at the former

Mitsubishi plant, which the startup bought in 2017 two years after it closed. The factory, which has already hired 200 employees, is expected to have more than 1,000 by the time the startup’s vehicles hit the market late next year. State and local officials are rallying behind the venture. “Rivian is going to be one of the largest car companies in the world, and it’s going to be based

right here in Normal— its manufacturing is,” Gov. J.B. Pritzker said. “I’m thrilled… for the people of Normal and for Illinois that we have manufacturing that’s reviving in our state.” Investors have been noticing Detroit-based Rivian’s potential. In February, Amazon invested $700 million. Two months later, Ford sank another half-billion dollars into the company,

becoming a minority partner and gaining a seat on the startup’s seven-member board. In Illinois, officials have promised the company would receive more than $50 million in state and local incentives for the factory in Normal if it meets hiring and investment targets, The Pantagraph reported. Most of the workers are from the community, including former Mitsubishi workers who

are now overseeing the Rivian’s opening. “We’re bringing new equipment in. We’re making changes to the layout of the plant, the lines,” Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe said. “Once that’s set up, we’ll really start to ramp up, and that involves a lot of hiring… As the facility starts to get into full-line production, we’re talking about thousands of jobs.” U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood,

a Dunlap Republican, said after the Oct. 13 display of the company’s R1T pickup and R1S SUV he’s eager to help by promoting tax credits and investing in the workforce. Republican state Rep. Dan Brady of Bloomington agreed. “Anything we can do in the way of state incentives to help the production and purchase of these vehicles, we want to look at,” Brady said.

NHTSA criticized for lax oversight of autonomous cars WASHINGTON — The nation’s road-safety regulator is under fire again for what critics call lax oversight of tests involving autonomous vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration doesn’t give enough direction to companies developing automatous

cars, the chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board said Nov. 19. Senators quizzed the NHTSA’s acting administrator on why the agency hasn’t set standards for automatic braking and steering systems that are becoming more common, and why the agency hasn’t

confronted Tesla about widely shared hacks that let drivers take their hands off the steering wheel. NHTSA’s acting administrator, James Owens, told lawmakers that his agency is assessing autonomous vehicle technology and researching how people interact with it. He said,

however, that the agency fears it could stifle innovation if it goes too far in regulating technology that is still evolving. The comments at a hearing of the Senate Commerce Committee came one day after the transportation safety board blamed a distracted occupant for letting

an autonomous Uber test car strike and kill a pedestrian last year. T he board accused NHTSA of failing to adequately oversee autonomous-vehicle testing. Board member Jennifer Homendy accused NHTSA of putting technology advancement above saving lives.

The NTSB recommended that NHTSA require car developers to submit safety reports, and that NHTSA review the plans to make sure the companies have safeguards in place — for instance, to make sure operators are paying attention while the vehicles are moving.

Ford to offer over-the-air software updates DE A R BOR N, Mich. (AP) — Beginning next year, Ford’s redesigned vehicle models will allow software updates over the internet or through cellular phone connections. The company said every model will be equipped with the technology as they are redesigned. The shift will reduce visits to dealers for service and even some computer-related recall repairs. Once completed, Ford will join electric carmaker

Tesla Inc. in having overthe-air software updates across its model lineup. Owners will be able to opt in to the program and get updates over their home wireless network at no cost. The cost for cellular updates has not been announced. Ford Motor Co. said Oct. 30 that it will be able to update nearly all vehicle computer systems once the system is active. The company wouldn’t say which vehicle will get

the feature first, but it intends to roll out an all-electric Mustang-inspired SUV next year. Even vehicles with conventional gasoline engines will get the update feature. “We can now help improve your vehicle’s capability, quality and overall driving experience while you’re sleeping,” said Don Butler, Ford’s executive director of connected vehicles and services. The company said it

VW expands electric vehicle production CHAT TANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — Volkswagen is making Tennessee its North American base for electric vehicle production, breaking ground on an $800 million expansion at its plant in Chattanooga. Volkswagen of America CEO Scott Keogh was at the factory Nov. 13 for the expansion’s groundbreaking ceremony. In an announcement from Volkswagen, Keogh called it a “a big, big moment” for the company. “Electric vehicles are the future of mobility and Volkswagen will build them for millions, not just millionaires,” Keogh vowed. The move toward electric vehicles underscores the company’s effort to transform itself after the 2015 diesel scandal, in which Volkswagen was caught using software to cheat on emissions testing. Further cementing a more-eco-friendly image, the company also announced a partnership with The Conservation Fund to protect and restore land in the United States. Senior Executive Vice President for Public A ffairs David Geanacopoulos, speaking in Chattanooga on Nov. 13, said Volkswagen’s first donation will expand the nearby Cherokee National Forest by about 1,500 acres, according to a re-

lease from the company. The donation “will help improve water quality, access to recreation and outdoor ex plorat ion,” Geanacopoulos said. The zero-emission vehicle has the working name “ID. CROZZ.” ID stands for intelligent design. Initially, it will be made in Germany. Once Volkswagen completes a 564,000-square-foot addition to the Chattanooga body shop, production is

expected to begin there in 2022. The company also is adding a 198,000-squarefoot plant for the assembly of battery packs. Volkswagen currently builds the midsize Atlas SUV and the Passat sedan at the Chattanooga factory. A five-seat version of the Atlas, called the Atlas Cross Sport, began production there in October and goes on sale early next year.

will deliver its first updates about six months after launching the first vehicles with the feature next year. Some of the updates would be invisible to owners because Ford’s system will run the existing software until the new version is verified and ready to run, the company said. Ford also announced that redesigned vehicles will get a faster and more capable version of its Sync infotainment system.

Livestock

When she’s not working on issues as president of the Illinois Pork Producers Association, Pam Janssen can be found in her sewing room at her home in rural Minonk, Illinois, working on her quilts. Janssen also proudly wears the hat of grandmother to granddaughter, Brooklyn, and grandson, Noah.

Pam and Bob Janssen have raised children, crops, cattle and pigs on their grain and livestock farm near Minonk, Illinois. Pam Janssen is the current president of the Illinois Pork Producers Association.

Thinking globally, locally Janssen sets priorities as IPPA leader By Jeannine Otto AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

MINONK, Ill. — When she’s not being a livestock and grain farmer, a mom, a grandma or the president of the Illinois Pork Producers Association, Pam Janssen can be found at her sewing machine. “That’s my sanity. That’s my go-to when I say, ‘OK, everybody, leave me alone. I just need peace and quiet and my sewing machine,’” Janssen said. The mother of three and grandmother of two stepped into a whirlwind when she took over as president of the Illinois Pork Producers Association almost a year ago. “The trade issue has hit us hard. With the price of livestock and the price of grain, some farmers are really struggling to keep going. I think a lot of us understand what President Trump is doing and why he’s doing it and it needed to be done. It’s just that it’s time to help us recover now and get this accomplished. Get the USMCA passed and signed. Get something done w ith China. We need to get that done,” Janssen said. The threat of African swine fever continues to be a top priority and a concern for Janssen, on a professional and on a personal level. “ASF, if it comes to this country, we’re done. It will be a sad day in the U.S. pork industry,” Janssen said. Janssen has been a member of the Illinois Pork P roducers A ssociation board since 2010. So, she’s not unfamiliar with the duties of what those leaders do and the issues the industry faces, both on a state level and at the national level. Janssen said she sees her role as keeping the ship steady through rough waters and continuing the projects that have been started. “You can’t really change anything during the course of your year. You kind of guide it along. Everything is already set in motion. You have to keep that forward motion going, plus deal with the things that come up unexpectedly,” she said. One example of that is dealing with keeping producers informed and upto-date on ASF. “We have to turn our attention to that, but we still have to be able to do the things we have started from the previous year,” Janssen said. She and her husband, Bob, are the sixth generation on their family farm. They have three children, Ben, K im and Brian, and two grandchildren, Brooklyn and Noah. They have around 200 head of sows on their farrow-to-ﬁnish swine operation, all on site. They also finish around 200 head of feeder cattle and raise corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa. Their pigs are marketed to Rantoul Foods in Rantoul. With the duties on the farm, Janssen said it’s easy sometimes to get tunnel vision and only pay attention

Plant Response Biotech to offer biological products to improve plant performance RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Plant Response Biotech and Koch Biological Solutions LLC have combined operations to form Plant Response Biotech Inc. The new venture will leverage both companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; complementary capabilities, assets and product oďŹ&#x20AC;erings. Plant Response Biotech is a plant biotechnology company specializing in plant innate immunity, plant physiology and nutrient use eďŹ&#x192;ciency. It has developed several product candidates which are approaching commercial launch status in the areas of drought tolerance and plant health. Koch Biological Solutions focuses on developing science-based, live microbial and biologically derived chemistries that improve plant performance at every stage of growth. Through various modes of action, its biological solutions perform directly on the plant or its

environment to improve crop eďŹ&#x192;ciency and nutrient uptake, maximizing yield potential. Tom Warner, chairman of the board for the new Plant Response Biotech, said both entities recognized the opportunity to combine their core capabilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These companies are naturally complementary, and it made tremendous sense to bring the two together and create real synergy,â&#x20AC;? Warner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, both companiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; screening and validation platforms are complementary, with the ability to deďŹ ne mode of action and identify the resulting cellular response.â&#x20AC;? He added Plant Response Biotech has a commercial team focused solely on biologicals, which will help advance Koch Biological Solutionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; product pipeline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plant Response Biotech, being a Spanish company, has a strong pres-

ence in Europe, and Koch company will be head- erations with R&D in commercial operations Biological Solutions is well quartered in Raleigh and Hayward, California, as headquartered in Madrid, established in the U.S. will have multi-site op- well as EMEA R&D and Spain.

‘Lights out on tough pigweed, waterhemp’ Combination of Enlist One, Liberty herbicides recommended INDIANAPOLIS — To give farmers the best control of tough and resistant weeds, Corteva Agriscience and BASF are recommending the use of Liberty and Enlist One herbicides on Enlist E3 soybean and Enlist cotton acres. These two leading herbicides offer exceptional control of broadleaf weeds including waterhemp, pigweed, kochia, marestail and ragweed species. “The combination of Enlist One plus Liberty herbicide is lights out on tough pigweed and waterhemp,” said Shawna Hubbard, Corteva Agriscience trait herbicide product manager. “Using both products postemergence will help farmers get the cleanest fields they’ve seen in years in areas infested with tough weeds. That’s why Liberty herbicide is now Corteva’s recommended glufosinate for use with the Enlist weed control system.” MULTIPLE MODES Enlist E3 soybeans and Enlist cotton give farmers flexibility in their herbicide selection with tolerance to 2,4-D choline in Enlist herbicides, glufosinate in Liberty herbicide, and glyphosate. This allows farmers and applicators to employ multiple herbicide sites of action. These herbicides offer a strong combination featuring flexibility for farmers. Growers have trusted Liberty herbicide to deliver consistent weed control with its unique patented formulation. It has consistently controlled broadleaves and grasses on millions of acres for many years and has no known resistance in U.S. row crops. By using Enlist and Liberty herbicides on the same acre, farmers will obtain superior weed control while helping sustain the long-term efficacy of both herbicides. They give farmers options: Spray these two products at one time with a tank mix of Enlist One plus Liberty herbicide or in planned sequential passes of Liberty herbicide and Enlist Duo herbicide. “Farmers need flexibility and options in their herbicide programs to control resistant weeds,” says Kate Greif, BASF Liberty herbicide product manager. “Utilizing multiple, effective sites of action in a planned program delivers consistent performance this season, while increasing the long-term sustainability of these chemistries for future seasons. “The collaboration between Corteva and BASF gives farmers deeper insights and improved recommendations to combat tough-to-control weeds through two effective postemergence herbicides in Enlist E3 soybean and Enlist cotton fields.” CONVENIENT, CONSISTENT The Enlist weed control system builds on single-traited herbicide systems by giving farmers more weed control options. Farmers should use a program approach that includes starting with effective residuals, followed by Enlist One and Liberty herbicides. This provides more options to keep fields weed free all summer long. Bringing multiple sites of action into the weed control program helps increase overall weed control, curb the development of resistant weeds and sustain the long-term viability of these technologies. According to University of Illinois research, selection for glyphosate-resistant waterhemp within four to six years was 83% less likely in a field where 2.5 modes of action were used than in a field where only 1.5 modes of action were used. In addition, because of the inherent stability of 2,4-D choline, adding Liberty herbicide in the tank with Enlist One herbicide does not increase

the potential for volatility due to acidification. Retailers, applicators and farmers also can feel confident adding qualified AMS products listed on EnlistTankMix.com to optimize performance. Liberty herbicide — like Enlist herbicides — is now part of the Enlist Ahead rewards program. This means farmers can earn an additional rebate when pairing Liberty herbicide with Enlist herbicides on Enlist crops. See Enlist. com or your crop protection retailer for details.

OMAHA, Neb. — As Farmers National Company celebrates its 90th anniversary, the growing landowner services company also will see a changing of the guard. Iowa native Jim Farrell, president and CEO, has been with Farmers National Company since 1986. He took a position with Farmers National Company at its Southeast Minnesota office in Rochester where he managed and sold farms during the heart of the farm crisis. Eventually, Farrell was promoted to vice president of business development. He advanced to become vice president of marketing and then in 2004 he was named president and CEO. Farrell will be retiring from the employee-owned company effective Dec. 31. “Our greatest satisfaction as a company is when we can help a landowner or mineral interest owner with concerns or issues that they may have with the management of their property,” Farrell said. “The company has continued to grow, doubling in the number of employees and associates since 2005. Income has grown by four times during that timeframe. A good group of loyal employees and associates, along with a great business plan, good long-range planning and good timing in our markets allowed for this growth.” Farmers National Company has named Farrell’s successor, David Englund. He currently oversees the company’s farm management sector and hires, trains and supervises field operations for the company. Englund grew up on a farm in Nebraska and holds an agricultural business degree from Kearney State College, is an accredited farm manager and possesses numerous certifications in real estate and crop insurance. Englund’s current position will be filled by Ken Schmitt, area vice

president for the central area in Jefferson, Iowa. Schmitt grew up on a farm in Lohrville, Iowa, graduated from Iowa State University and is an accredited farm manager through the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers. Schmitt has been with Farmers National Company since 1986 and has extensive knowledge and expertise in farm management. He is an accredited farm manager and has received numerous awards over his tenure with Farmers National Company. He has served on the company’s board of directors and will join the home office in Omaha. Farmers National Company chief financial officer and treasurer/senior executive vice president Dave Knutson grew up on his family farm in northwest Kansas. K nutson joined the Farmers National Company team as a fiscal leader. In the 30 years he was with Farmers National Company, he carried out corporate and client financial reporting and overseeing the human resources department, the oil and gas management division, the lake management division, the information technology department and the insurance department. He also has served as trustee for the employee stock ownership plan since its creation in 2000. Knutson officially retired in July and has been replaced by Julie Gerken, senior vice president of financial services/treasurer with Farmers National Company. Gerken has been with Farmers National Company since 2014 and brings extensive knowledge of the best accounting practices for clients and the company. Early in her career, she worked for Farmers National Company as an intern in the corporate accounting area. After graduation from the University of Nebraska, she went into public accounting for 17 years before rejoining Farmers National.

Grant for climate-positive agriculture WILMINGTON, Del. — Corteva Agriscience announced a $500,000 commitment to create the Corteva Agriscience Climate Positive Challenge to catalyze a movement toward climate-positive agriculture. The grant program will be launched next year and reward efforts that offset carbon emissions and protect the environment while sustaining farms and farmers. The challenge grants will provide financial rewards to farmers who are already advancing innovative climate-positive practices for collaborating with local environmental groups, universities, growers or others in the ag value chain to help scale the effort beyond their own acres. “We understand the challenges farmers around the world are facing as it relates to trade, policy and weather challenges,” said James Collins Jr., CEO of Corteva Agriscience. “These reasons are our primary drivers for announcing this now — to provide incen-

tives for those farmers that have a keen eye for scaling their practices.” Collins first introduced the concept of climate-positive agriculture at last year’s World Food Prize. Since then, the company had meetings with farmers and organizations representing every facet of agriculture and food production on the forefront of advancing agricultural sustainability. The discussions explored what it would take to create a carbon-negative and climate-positive agriculture industry around the world. “Clearly, there’s a thirst and passion to collaborate and coordinate so that we can best tackle what is undoubtedly the biggest challenge of our lifetimes,” Collins said. Corteva is already working toward creating market-driven financial incentives for farmers. The company’s subsidiary, Granular, is collaborating with Nori, the world’s leading carbon dioxide removal marketplace.

Commodity Insight Jerry Welch

Frequently — several times a week, actually — I post articles on InsideFutures.com regarding the Big Four, stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities. A week ago, I posted an article entitled “Two Sound Bites Today,” where I posed this question: How fast can a commodity

change a trend? But I should have asked: How fast can any market change a trend? My column this week will touch on the latter not the former question. In the article from InsideFutures. com, I stated the following: “Three days ago, coffee futures hit a 13-day low. Today, coffee futures are at a new four-month high. Be careful being short commodities, here ‘in the hole.’ Be careful.” And this week, coffee hit an 11month high. The point I am making is when the psychology of a market suddenly changes from bearish to bullish, or vice versa, price trends change just as quickly. It now seems the psychology and price trend for coffee has changed to that of a bull after working lower since the fall of 2016. However, I also argue the market psychology for most all paper markets, stocks, bonds and the dollar have been skewed to the buy side of the ledger for an unusually long period. Since the trade war began 20 months ago, being long paper markets has done well because “if you were not long, you were wrong.” This year, with a month to go before the calendar reads 2020, being long commodities or hard assets has been the very opposite. And most all analysts believe the same scenario will be seen in the New Year, just as it was in 2019. It will be a year where paper markets do well and commodities do not do so well. Still, history shows clearly that a market can change trend rapidly when it is weighed too heavily on the short, or long, side of the ledger. With that thought in mind, allow me to recap what unfolded this week with the world’s best performing stock, ArtGo, the marble-mining company listed on the Hong Kong Exchange that rose 3,800% in 2019. Everyone was loaded up to the gills with long positions in ArtGo. In one wild and crazy day this week, the market psychology for ArtGo changed from manic to depressive, from wildly bullish to wildly bearish. The psychology changed overnight from “Let me in!” to “Get me out!” From businessinsider.com: “ArtGo shares had formed what some experts viewed as a disconnect from the company’s fundamental performance. The share price hit 85 times the company’s revenue, higher than some of the world’s buzziest tech companies. Marble prices haven’t jumped in 2019, and ArtGo’s revenue for the first half of the year was half that of the year-ago period. Yet shares soared through the second half of the year.” The discrepancy led the activist investor David Webb to issue a “bubble warning” in September about ArtGo’s shares, The Journal reported. Webb also asked Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission to investigate the run-up. And the day after that news article hit the wires, shares of ArtGo fell 98%, wiping out $5.7 billion in market value. Yes, the world’s best performing stock in 2019 that rose 3,800% fell 98% overnight. Historically, such white-knuckle declines on the Hong Kong Exchange are not that unusual. On the same day that shares of ArtGo were decimated, shares of Kasen International Holdings, a small-cap stock, dropped 91% before trading was halted. The market psychology for shares of both firms changed abruptly to say the least. When market psychology changes, it is generally because the trade was, “too crowded.” When a market becomes too crowded with bulls, it is vulnerable to turning lower and, at times, dramatically so. When a market becomes too crowded with bears, the same thing can happen on the upside. History shows that “crowded trades” are fickle, subject to a change of direction in the blink of an eye and should be avoided. The market psychology today is ice-cold bearish commodities because of the trade with China. If the war ends — and it will — those pressing the short side of commodities will face an abrupt change of psychology and quickly discover that a host of entrenched bearish trends have morphed into newly emerging bull trends. And that means, “if you are not long, you will be wrong” when it comes to hard assets, or commodities. But for that to take place, a trade deal with China needs to be signed. Or, weather issues have to surface. In my view, this is no place to turn bearish hard assets. No place at all.

Time for giving thanks

Zippy Duvall American Farm Bureau Federation

We now gather together as friends and family to give thanks for our blessings as Americans and to kick off the Christmas holiday season. For many farm families, this season is a muchneeded opportunity to restore our sense of purpose and gratitude for the farming and

ranching life. Gratitude may seem ironic to some in agriculture this year. We’re dealing with a perfect storm of challenges: a trade war, bad weather and low prices for several commodities. As farm debt rises, so does farm stress. It can all seem like too much to handle, and it certainly will be a cloud over the holiday for too many in farm country. I’ve been there: feeling that no matter how hard you work, it’s not enough, and knowing that this could be a hard candy Christmas. But life on the farm is still pretty sweet. It is a blessing to be able to farm and ranch and raise our families on the land. Whatever comes our way — fat or lean — it’s important to be grateful. Even if our sock has a hole in it, it still helps us stay warm. When we look back on our lives, we see that some of our best times, our best memories, are from the lean times. It’s then that we focus on what really matters. Some of my family’s best stories are from the years when we didn’t have as much. But we always had a good meal and a good time together. We could even laugh at some of our hardships and the funny ways we coped with them. I bet your family has those memories and stories, too. As the clutter of commercialism is cleared away, we are brought closer to our families, and I’m brought closer to my Lord. It gives us a chance to be grateful for our health, to give thanks for the meal in front of us, and to appreciate our loved ones, even if they might drive us crazy sometimes. As we gather around the table, let’s draw out our friends and family members and pay attention to how they’re really doing. Look for signs of stress, such as a personality change or a major change in health or appearance. Be a good listener and try to help those who are struggling to find hope. Hope is the bailing wire of our lives in agriculture, holding things together for another year. This is also a time when we begin to think even more about our plans for the year ahead. Even in the worst of times, that’s a source of hope for most farmers and ranchers. Farmers are always looking at what they can do differently next year. Whether the current farm economy has us scaling back or scaling up, we can look for ways to turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities — to prepare our farms and ranches for what’s ahead. There’s so much we don’t control in agriculture, but there’s also a lot that we do. The meal on the holiday table is what gives me hope, because it wouldn’t be possible without our farmers and ranchers. The world needs us. As we carve the turkey and cut a slice of pie, let’s think of each serving as a slice of hope — and a blessing. We still live in the land of plenty. We still have so much to be grateful for.

The sour mess of Dean’s downfall While many in the U.S. dairy sector focus on why the nation’s largest milk bottler, Dean Foods, filed for bankruptcy Nov. 12, the smart money — if there is any smart money left after four years of crushingly low milk Farm & Food prices — is focused on what’s next. File What’s next is what’s always next when your Alan Guebert business is built on shrinking markets, declining margins and a relentless rise in production: more tough times. Dean Foods’ crack-up, though, is so big and its market presence is so broad that what happens next to it will impact dairy farmers, processors, bankers and coop members alike from Boston to Minneapolis. Maybe worse is that this sour mess was predictable, if not avoidable. And, in fact, it was predicted by Peter Hardin, the publisher and editor of The Milkweed, a monthly dairy newspaper based in Brooklyn, Wisconsin. On the front page of its January 2019 edition, Hardin asked in blaring red ink, “Dean Foods: Preparing for Bankruptcy???” As the three question marks attest, Hardin doesn’t do nuance. He does, however, do his homework. In late 2018, Hardin came across a note in a Dean Foods’ quarterly Securities and Exchange Commission filing that reported the company had created something called the “Dean Foods Receivables Securitization Facility.” That “facility” allowed Dean to place “$450 million… beyond the reaches of the bankruptcy process.”

From 1979 to 2017, U.S. fluid milk consumption dropped from 247 pounds per person to 149 pounds. Worse, sales of non-dairy “milks” like soy, almond, palm and oat ballooned 61% from 2013 to 2017.

Walmart and Costco. That streamlining already means fewer, freestanding processors like Dean and, in turn, even fewer milk marketing cooperatives and dairy farmers. In a way, Dean Foods is just the first, hulking victim. Volunteering to be the second might be Dean’s largest fluid milk supplier, Dairy Farmers of America, which is now in “advanced discussions” to buy Dean. On the surface, DFA’s move makes sense. After all, Dean is the biggest milk buyer from DFA’s 14,000 farmer-members Why, Hardin wrote, would Dean Foods and still owes DFA $172.9 million for “cook up an Ivy League MBA scam to milk it bottled, but never paid for. shaft suppliers and lenders by hiding up But DFA and Dean have a checkered to $450 million in liquid assets” from past.

Soybeans at your holiday dinner table Whether ham, turkey, chicken, beef or fish take center stage at your holiday dinner table, you can thank soybeans. Why? Because livestock, poultry and fish rely on protein from soybean meal to grow into that tasty bounty. Doug Livestock and poultry Schroeder producers are the largest customers for Illinois soyIllinois beans and feed for animal Soybean agriculture represents the top market for soybeans Association today. In total, over 70% of the soybeans grown in the United States end up in livestock feed, so you and I can enjoy high quality protein not only around the holidays, but all year long. High-quality protein meal and hulls comprise nearly 80% of crushed soybeans, which feed pigs, poultry, fish, beef and dairy cattle. Pigs eat nearly 79% of the soybean meal fed in Illinois, while poultry consumes about 64% of the soybean meal fed in the United States. Meat exports represent the fastest growing category of soybean meal use, with U.S. pork exports generating a market value of $120.4 million to Illinois soybeans in 2018. Beef and pork exports alone add 85 cents per bushel to the price of soybeans. Not only does feeding Illinois soy-

bean meal add value to the crop, but exporting meat, poultry and dairy also increases demand and market value for soybeans. As the worldwide demand for meat and poultry continues to expand, especially in developing countries, buyers continue to demand quality, safe meat and look to the United States as a consistent supplier. This, in turn, benefits soybean growers in Illinois as livestock and poultry production and exports ensure markets for our soybeans. To continually tap into new markets and strengthen those already existing, the Illinois Soybean Association checkoff program supports meat export growth through the U.S. Meat Export Federation and the U.S.A. Poultry and Egg Export Council. The partnerships we have with USMEF and USAPEEC benefit soybean growers like you and me by breaking down barriers between U.S. products and international customers. One of the ways ISA supports USMEF is through pork promotion in Mexico. This investment has positive impacts on Mexican consumers as their pork consumption continues to increase at an annual rate of 3.3%. Beyond that, U.S. pork exports to Mexico have set volume and value records and ISA is proud to back USMEF’s efforts. ISA also backs USAPEEC because soybeans are a vital part of poultry diets – in fact, one out of every six bushels of soybeans produced in the

United States – making it vital that we continue to support the poultry industry. A primary USAPEEC project we support is Gulfood, a trade show in Dubai, where ISA helps sponsor a pavilion and booth for poultry and egg cooking demonstrations. In addition to our support of USMEF and USAPEEC, ISA also supports the World Initiative for Soy in Human Health, which creates demand for soy in public and private sectors globally. WISHH trains people in developing countries on using soy for economic and nutritional advantages to improve diets and health. These initiatives also encourage the growth of food and animal production industries. By creating demand for meat and poultry, USMEF, USAPEEC and WISHH initiatives not only help Illinois soybean farmers, they also help our neighbors who are livestock producers. We appreciate these opportunities for ISA to support farmers all across our state. This holiday season, I’ll enjoy dinners with my family and be thankful for the noble soybean, along with the farmers and livestock producers who helped put the meals on our table. To learn more about ISA’s support of USMEF, USAPEEC and WISHH, visit ilsoy.org. Doug Schroeder is chairman of the Illinois Soybean Association Board of Directors.

New Exposition replaces World Pork Expo swine show Event separated from trade show By Jeannine Otto

AGRINEWS PUBLICATIONS

I N DI A NA P OL IS — When June 2020 rolls around, young sw ine showpeople will pack their showboxes, load the pigs and turn their cars, trucks and trailers a different direction. “The Exposition is the live swine show that was formerly held in conjunction with the World Pork Expo. It is now a separate event,” said Cassie Godwin. In 2019, to prevent any possible introduction of the deadly African swine fever into the United States, the National Pork Producers Council canceled the World Pork Expo. The expo is traditionally conducted in early June at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. In 2020, the two events will be conducted separately. The Exposition will take place June 7-13, 2020, at the Indiana State Fairg rounds in Indianapolis. “L ook i ng at 2020, NPPC, NSR, Certified Pedigreed Sw ine and the American Berkshire Association assessed the situation. They decided, from a strategic standpoint, just to best mitigate any sort of risk of ASF, it was best to separate the swine show from any sort of trade show,” Godwin said. Godwin said the health and welfare of the pigs — from showpigs of the Exposition to the nonshow swine at home on farms of those attending the World Pork Expo — was the top priority for those making the decision to separate the events. “To mitigate any risk of introducing African swine fever — or any foreign animal disease — into the

Jim Monroe, assistant vice president of communications for the National Pork Producers Council, said NPPC plans to conduct the World Pork Expo in 2020 in Des Moines. The 2020 World Pork Expo is planned for June 3-5. “The NPPC board of directors will review plans at the regularly scheduled board meeting in December and formal That’s why COUNTRY Financial® ag experts teamed up with your announcement s about World Pork Expo will be local county farm bureau to host an agribusiness seminar near you. made after that meeting,” Monroe said.

The set up Find a meeting at COUNTRYCrop.com. of the Exposition will be similar to the shows formerly held during World Pork Expo. “We will have the junior show and the open show, then the open sale. We’ll still have a livestock judging contest, activities and things like that for the junior exhibitors. We will have vendor spaces and boutiques, but there won’t be the full trade show that is typically at the World Pork Expo,” Godwin said. She said the vendor event will feature National Junior Swine Association sponsors and show supply vendors. Godwin said the feedback so far has been positive. “We are very excited about the future of the Exposition. We think our par tnership w ith the Indiana State Fairgrounds will be very beneficial long term and our membership seems to be very excited as well,” she said.
